Application med July 9,

To all 107mm t may concern 1 Be it known that L ALFRED HnNnr S'rocKALL.a British' subject, and a resident of Bath, in the county ofI Somerset,England7 have invented certain new and useful lmproven'ients in PrintersGalleysz` and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact descriptionof the same, ref erence being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of the specification, and to the characters ofreference marked thereon. y

This invention relates to printers galleys and refers chiefly to galleys.which v'are adapted for use on type casting and composing machineswherein thev lines of single types as cast by the machine are assembledin a column in the galley in the reverse order to composition so thatthe last line to be thus assembled is the first line of the composedmatter. A casting and composing machine of this class is described inthe specification of United States Patent 625,-

In order to avoid the necessity of trans ferring the lines of typebodily from this galley to another to facilitate making up" and so as toplace the firstline of compo- .ition at the head of the galley, it hasbeen proposedvto provide for the open or receiving end of the the galleya movable or' detachable end member or bar which can be placedinposition to closev the end of the galley and permit the lines of typeto be moved tovvards this bar With the first line galley and a securingdevice which is oper-p aed by the user in the act of inserting orremoving the end member, and `which will act to close the end member inposition Without necessitating a separate or special act of the -userfor this purpose.
